Bush and Kerry find common ground: Ohio is key view story
Monday, October 18, 2004
JOHN FARMER - - New Jersey Star-Ledger
| For George W. Bush, as it has been for every Republican presidential candidate for almost 150 years, Ohio is the critical state.
The record is daunting: No GOP nominee has made it to the Oval Office without winning the Buckeye State. This year, with the national polls a dead heat, only a handful of states still competitive and debate momentum favoring Democrat John Kerry, the historical imperative for Bush -- win Ohio or you're toast -- looms larger than ever.
